The Y-shaped structure where the DNA double helix is actively unwound during DNA replication is called the _________

Biology
1 answer:
g100num [7]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Replication fork.

Explanation:

Replication fork is exactly where DNA is being replicated, it is a Y-shaped structure caused by helicase enzymes when DNA unwinds, breaking the hydrogen bonds that holds the two strands together. DNA is synthesised using two strands; the leading and lagging strand. The lagging strand discontinues at this point resulting in short fragments called the okazaki fragments.

List molar concentrations (0.0 M, 0.2 M, etc.) at which water entered the potato strips. Why did water move into the potato stri
kati45 [8]

Answer:

- Water entered the potato strips because the potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment.

- The solutions are hypotonic to the solution in the potato cells.

Explanation:

According to osmosis, water will move from a region where it is high in concentration to that region where it is low in concentration. However, a region with high solute concentration contains a low water concentration and vice versa.

Hence, according to this question, water is said to move into potato strips from solutions of molar concentrations like 0.0M, 0.2M etc. Water moved into the potato strips because potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment. This means that the external solutions are HYPERTONIC i.e. low in solute concentration to the solution in the potato strips.
